Re: Discussion on Jaswant Singh's book on Jinnah

People can split hair on whether Jinnah was a secularist, pragmatist, great leader etc etc People can continuously argue and think what exactly happened during 1945-47. From my point of view JINNAH DIVIDED INDIA AND CREATED THE TERRORIST STATE OF PAKISTAN. Anyone who loves India can never praise suc...

Re: The Indo Russian PAK-FA Project

It is actually a good move to have L band radar in a 5th gen stealth aircraft. 1. It can detect enemy aircraft at a greater range 2. Enemy stealth will be neutralized by a great extent. 3. Electronic counter measures will be much harder 4. Even the most sophisticated RWRs may not effectively pick up...

Methinks Rafale is too small to have an internal weapons bay. However Flanker series can be converted into a stealth aircraft with considerable amount of redesign. Having low RCS is nothing great. You should have RCS below a threshold. Apparently F-22 has a RCS of -45dBsm and F-35 about -25dBsm and ...

In my opinion ASBMs can at max target aircraft carriers. There will be a trade off between reentry velocity and accuracy. If the re-entry velocity is too less(<Mach 3) then unkil's SAMs can easily take out the ASBMs. If the re-entry velocity is too high then accuracy will be compromised. The only vi...
